As such, the challenge is to turn this amusement Park into the premiere family vacation destination for all of Asia, with a POD farther back than 1945. Feel free to go completely crazy

How about having official characters in Shijingshan? Like competitors of Disney, just to get under their skin?

Consider that there would be lawsuits starting in c. 1989 over the huge amount of intellectual property thefts. Also consider this was a period when Japan was being seen as the "next super power.."

Literally ASB. The Soviet Union didn't have the capability to destroy the US at that time. It's why they wanted the missiles in Cuba so badly. A Cuban Missile Crises that goes hot sees Europe and the USSR turned into glow in the dark parking lots with the US taking very little to no damage.

Bah! I repeat, just because there was nuclear conflict during the Cold War does not mean it is a doomsday scenario. 🤪
Besides, China is spared. 🤪
More seriously, could Disney go bankrupt and sell its rights back to China because nobody wants them anymore?
